Are you a candidate for orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is not only used for improving aesthetics or changing how you feel about your smile.
It deals with irregularities of the teeth and jaws, especially alignment and occlusion. Orthodontia is
used to correct malocclusions. Malocclusions, also known as bad bites, occur as a result of tooth or
jaw misalignment. Malocclusions affect the way you smile, chew your food, and clean your teeth.

The Staff

The team members of Red and Ritchey Orthodontics consist of a caring, professional, and fun group of
well-trained orthodontic assistants.

Why should YOU consider orthodontic treatment?

If you are trying to decide whether orthodontic treatments are right for you, then the best thing that you can do is schedule a consultation with our team. At Red and Ritchey Orthodontics, we will gladly cater your treatment to match your needs.

Here are a few reasons why you should make it a priority to schedule an orthodontics exam:

Build Confidence with a Beautiful Smile:

The quality of your smile has a direct impact on your self-confidence. Improving the appearance of your teeth can help you feel more comfortable when you are talking to other people. This confidence will improve your quality of life and give you the freedom to smile any time without holding back.

Protect Your Dental Health

Straightening your teeth can make it easier to care for your dental health. When the teeth are properly aligned, you will find it easier to floss and brush all surfaces of the teeth to prevent dental problems in the future.

Avoid Long Term Dental Issues:

Untreated orthodontic problems can lead to bigger health issues in the future. If you procrastinate your orthodontic treatments, then you could be facing bigger dental costs later on.

Our Treatments

Though an orthodontist can enhance a smile at any age, there is an optimal time period to begin treatment.
Beginning treatment at this time ensures the greatest result and the least amount of time and expense. The American
Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of
orthodontic problems or no later than age 7.

AMAZING!

My daughter has severe anxiety issues and getting used to a new office is challenging, to say the least. Dr Red and his staff are nothing less than AMAZING! They explained everything step by step and made sure she was extremely comfortable every single time she was there. His sense of humor and bright smile made us laugh and feel at ease every single visit. The cookies at the end of the visit are a bonus too;). Unfortunately, we are moving out of IL so we must leave the office, but she keeps telling me that she wants to bring Dr Red with us! What do you think Doc??? Thanks again for being such an incredible person and making our lives so much easier through this process. We will miss you greatly!!

The BEST!

I did not have a problem with my teeth when you would usually get braces (in your teens), however, my teeth shifted as an adult. I found myself getting braces in my early 30's!!! I couldn't have made a more perfect choice by going to Dr. Red. The entire staff there is professional, personable, and fun!!! Dr. Red helped me make the best choice aesthetically- which was a big deal for me. At my age (and being single at the time), I was concerned how I would look with braces....so he actually placed the kind of braces that go on the back of your teeth, so they could not be seen! I never had to wait long for my appointments and they were extremely accommodating when an issue arose and I needed to get in right away to get something taken care of (even as little as getting a wire clipped). I love my results...Dr. Red is the BEST!!!

The office has an insurance specialist she is awesome takes her time and goes through everything. They try very hard to work with your budget. Heather is usually at the front desk is always so nice, and helpful. The staff on the floor with Dr. Ritchey are very friendly always a smile. My kids were nervous, but they were right there to make sure they could make them feel at ease.
Dr. Ritchey is an awesome orthodontist. He gets it, and knows how to communicate to the entire family. My kids Love him!
